The 'A' scalers are the group of pilots who joined right at (
or even before) flydubai started operating flights, and therein their Contract of Employment is slightly different to that which has since been offered, and / or is presently being offered.
E.g. the Contract of Employment, as offered to the 'A' scalers, provides a higher basic salary + higher allowances (
to say nothing of a less restrictive policy wrt the 'education allowance'), i.e. when compared to what has subsequently been offered to those whom have joined at a later date and, all in all, it reflects flydubai having revised its T&C's downwards.
I should add (
hence the edit) that the 'A' scalers now represent just a small percentage (
10% & diminishing ?) of FZ's total pilot cadre.... and yes I am an 'A' scaler.
